Fundamentals
338 Programming Manual, 11/2006, 6FC5398-1BP10-2BA0
Programming N10 T1 or T=1:
1. Magazine location 1 is scrutinized and the tool identifier is ascertained.
2. This tool is locked and therefore cannot be used.
3. A tool search for T="drill" is initiated in accordance with the search method set.
Exception: "Find the active tool; or else, select the one with the next highest duplo
number".
4. "Drill" tool with duplo number 3 (in magazine location 4) is identified as the tool that can
be used.
This completes the tool selection process and the tool change is initiated:
5. If the "Select the first available tool from the group" search method is employed, the
sequence must first be defined within the tool group being loaded.
Group T10 is loaded, as T15 is locked.
6. On completion of tool search strategy "Take the first tool with status "active" from group",
T1 is loaded.
